With such a busy life, and the desire to eat well, lose weight, reduce sugar intake, and support my muscular growth from working out, I have been struggling with finding a good and quick healthy meal in the morning and post workout. Look no further, this stuff is awesome. I've only had the chocolate flavor, but man it is good. I wake up, throw 16 ounces of soy milk in the blender, one banana, 6 or so strawberries, (or just strawberries and blueberries) and two scoops of the whey powder, then a minute later I am drinking a delicious breakfast that both my wife and kid also enjoy. What really stands out about this powder is that it is sweetened with stevia, which means there is no sugar or artificial sweeteners. I can't speak to how it is contributing to my muscle growth,I've only had it for a week. I can say I am losing weight already, and the two main things I did was add a high protein breakfast to my diet in the form of this drink AND cut way back on my refined sugar intake, to include soda, candy, etc. Anyway, I'm psyched. I've tried some other drinks that did not taste nearly as good, were actually a bit more expensive, and did not digest well. Try it at least once. Read more

I bought several whey protein isolates in smaller amounts to try them all out. I have food sensitivities, and soy is one of those, even soy lecithin, which is in a lot of whey protein isolate shakes. Bluebonnet Whey Protein Isolate uses sunflower lecithin. There are no "red flag" ingredients in this such as acesulfame potassium aka Acesulfame-K (an artificial sweetener, a potassium salt containing methylene chloride, a known carcinogen), soy, or any of the gums like guar gum, or carrageenan (these ingredients may or may not bother anyone else). It also is not protein "spiked." Look that one up to find out more about it. It is clean and pure and I really like it. It makes me feel good when I use it. Whey protein isolate was recommended to me by my health care practitioner. This is the best whey protein isolate I have found. I mix it with my homemade yogurt and water and ice in my smoothie maker. I also mix it with cold water alone in a shaker cup. It mixes well like that. I've started getting some organic coconut milk, just a quarter cup per serving mixed with cold water, and it mixes well like that, too. I find it to be tasty in any of those ways. Read more

I very much vouch for this protein powder in particular, because its one of the very few that doesn’t have extra unnecessary additives like thickeners that nobody even needs. and the chocolate flavor is very rich and satisfying. Whey isn’t usually good for us and this isolate version takes the cake. If you are craving sweets or just want a meal replacement with a bunch of protein, drink this. I use this as my post workout snack. It’s filling enough! You don’t need all those stupid ingredients you see in most protein powders that are sold in like all of the grocery stores! For people who get bloated easily and have sensitive stomachs, you need this product!! This is the only protein powder I trust and will continue to buy. Read more

I have been lactose intolerant sine my mid 20's, I am 45 and have been taking plant protein powders forever. I have always heard that whey is superior to plant powders but couldn't take it due to digestive issues. Then I came across info that told me whey isolate usually has most of it's lactose removed naturally from processing. Why have I not heard this before? Anyway, I decided to try some isolates out but would not settle for anything less than grass-fed, non gmo with minimal additives if any at all. I came across this and gave it a try. It has been wonderful, in my opinion it mixes easily, tastes ok, typical whey pro powder taste, and best of all, I can digest it. I have also started taking Iconic Protein Powder and have had the same results with that. I am now on my second order of both of these. I will say at first, and sometime still at random, I notice a little bit of gas which I attribute to these products, but it is minimal and sometimes not present at all. It is so minimal that I really don't even care about it as it is not bothersome, not like drinking a pure glass of milk, If I did that, God help whoever is standing next to me in an elevator an hour later lol...but from what I understand, not all lactose can be removed in the whey isolate creation process so this is understandable. Since beginning taking both of these powders two or three times a day I have started making some gains so I feel great about that, although I have also started taking dextrose powders with these in my protein shakes right after workouts which is supposed to help drive the shake into your muscles better, seems to be working for me. For those interested, right after a workout I take one or two scoops of these powders, about 1/2 serving dextrose, about 30g carbs according to label, (you can also use glucose powders), and some creatine, 3-5 grams, and i really feel it gets in me. Hope this review helps I will def be continuing this product and also Iconic Protein Powder. I will be submitting this same review for the Iconic Protein Powder so if you read them both and it sounds identical that's because it mostly is--cheers. Read more

For me, when it comes to whey supplements, quality is more important than price. I've tried several high-quality brands including: (1) Raw Organic Whey, (2) Opportuniteas Grass-fed Whey Protein Isolate, (3) Antler Farm Whey Isolate, and (4) Naked Whey. Ultimately, I've decided that I will be using two protein products going forward: one chocolate flavored (for quick mix with water after workout) and one unflavored (for smoothies, where I can add my own fruits and flavoring with almond milk, coconut water, etc). As far as chocolate flavored protein powder goes, NOTHING comes close to Bluebonnet. First off, the amino profile looks great (good ratio of BCAA). The protein content ratio is very good (for flavored products 26g of protein in a 33g scoop is perfectly respectable). Low sugar. Ingredient list looks clean - no junk. But where Bluebonnet really shines is the taste and solubility. It doesn't taste chalky (which many other chocolate flavored proteins do). As for my unflavored protein choice, I will not discuss that here as it is not relevant to this product being reviewed. Hint: it's one of the 4 brands listed above. Read more
